Attributes

The dogs in this world for the most part have been shown to be a specific yellow- or orange-colored breed of bulldog and have many attributes akin to real dogs. They have increased senses such as sight and smell compared to humans and most have shorter life spans due to living in "dog years." In "The New Frontier" Jake says "I'll probably live another hundred years easy" suggesting that dogs with magical powers such as Jake have different life spans. Dogs have adapted to the circumstances of the world they now live in (or mutated from the Mushroom War) and some have become anthropomorphic; gained the means of speech and have learned the usage of tools and weaponry.

Other dogs may have gained supernatural attributes. These include various magical powers such as being able to change their size and mass, as well as communicate with one another in dreams.

Society

Though they appear to live in a society akin to many of the other creatures of this world, they seem to prefer being companions with other beings. The most notable dog is Jake, Finn's companion and adoptive brother. It seems that a large majority of dogs reside in the Crystal Dimension based on the episode, "Lady Rainicorn of the Crystal Dimension", where they live together with rainicorns and crystal people.

History

Sometime before the series, dogs were at war for millennia with the Rainicorns for territory in the Crystal Dimension, as mentioned in the episode "Her Parents." Before the Great Mushroom War, dogs were domesticated by humans. It is possible the Rainicorn-Dog Wars in the Crystal Dimension occurred simultaneous to human history before the mushroom war (and well beyond that).

Dogs

Billy's Dog

Billy's dog was a companion to Billy much like Jake is to Finn. It had unspecified magic abilities. Not much is known about it. It most likely died naturally.
